"A number of viruses including EBV, HPV, HBV and HCV have the ability
to establish long-term infections in the host, either through the
establishment of latent or chronic infections, which can ultimately lead
to cellular transformation. It appears that the gene products of these
viruses stimulate PI3K-Akt-mediated cell survival and thereby block
apoptosis of the cells they infect. This contributes to both virus
survival and oncogenic transformation..." (The pivotal role of

And among that list of viruses, HPV is implicated in at least a
quarter of non-small cell lung cancers. The Surgeon General et al. are
guilty of fraud for ignoring the role of HPV in order to falsely blame
smoking and passive smoking.
